Poll

Should I add more click-states for the miniatures? (each new one will increase the time it takes for me to finish this!)

Leave it as idle/attack.
Add a death pose!
Add a death pose and a funny pose!
Add something different... (post a suggestion)

What

This is a brick pack of miniatures, usually found useful in role-playing games like D&D.
When the brick is clicked, it switches to an attack pose.


When

I'm not sure if I want to release it as a work in progress here and update over time, or if I just want to release the whole thing when I'm finished with it. Tell me what you think!


Where

This brick-pack would be best used on D&D style servers. (suggest other places you'd use these!)


Why

I started this project to get better at 3d modeling. Also because using poles as people in my D&D sessions was rather boring.


How

I'll tell you when I have some more done.


To Do

What I want to to most now is to edit the first 3 (human dwarf elf) to look like they have more character (gnome).
After that I'll start pumping out some monsters, maybe death poses, making different sized bricks, to infinity and beyond.

Here's a list of the models I'd like to make for this pack: (most will probably be squished together or removed)

Looks good, looking forward to seeing the other ones on the list.

so a miniature game in a (scaled with the real world) already miniature game....

Would you be able to color them?

Oh yea.
Their clothes/hats and some accessories take the color you paint them.

Remove legs and arms so it looks like blockheads.

Nah, I like this approach. It looks like another series of toys, which is what blockland is themed around.

These look pretty awesome, looking forward to the release.

Yeah, you should consider doing futuristic and modern units.

Ever heard of Mini Empires?

Anyways, this is pretty sweet. I can't wait until this is released.

Thanks :D

Due to the popularity of mini empires, I may do a brick pack for that specifically after this one.
As for the modern/future themed ones; I'll be sure to keep it in mind for the future, but that won't be for awhile.

Also, updated the human model/pose today and added a poll.

Add a death pose but also can you add a sleeping pose with there arms together and laying down?

Fantastic job with these, J :) They're really nice and of good quality.


*cough* Uhm. Still busy with life, but I should be able to work on this again soon... I think.
